My Mommy’s Brave Heart (Adina and Duke)
Chapter 897

Chapter 897 Adina looked at Daniel and said calmly, "Didn't I tell you to call me if anything happened? You agreed, but in the end, you didn't tell me anything." Daniel frowned. "Adina, there was no need to call you for such a trivial matter. How are you feeling?" "I'm fine." Adina smiled. "There are twelve more days until the assessment period comes to an end. Until then, let's work hard." Daniel nodded vigorously.

'From the outside, it seems as if Adina and Jasmine are competing for the position as heiresses. But the truth is, Jasmine and I are the ones who are competing with each other.

'If I lose, my father and I will never be able to stay in the Jones family.'

"Don't keep things to yourself anymore when something happens in the future, okay?" Duke said calmly, "I'm your brother-in-law. You can always hit me up."

Daniel replied to him obediently, "Yes, sir."

During this period, whenever he was on a video call with Adina, he could always hear Duke doing something in the background. He would either be cooking, doing the laundry, or even sweeping the floor. He struggled to believe that Duke would be willing to do house chores.

But it made him realize that the rumors on the internet would only be rumors. They were unreliable news.

After walking around the project site, Adina and Duke headed to Winters Corporation.

They drove home after Duke stuffed all the documents accumulated over the past few days into the trunk of the car.

Adina felt a lot better after going out for a bit.

Duke brought the documents to the study room to review them, while she took a book and read it in the living room.

Just after she read a few lines, a familiar voice echoed in her mind.

Adina's body tensed up. She wobbled back to her bedroom and closed the door behind her gently. She now believed that Earl had not lied to her. Indeed, there were many more controllers, just like that earring "Addy, you slit a knife on my neck. As revenge, I want you to do the same to Duke."

Earl's voice repeatedly echoed in her mind.

With all her will, she tied her hands behind her back.

"You can bring yourself to hurt me. Why can't you do the same to Duke? Go ahead, Addy. Do it

"Addy, it's just a small cut. Once you do it, you won't suffer anymore...'

The bewitching voice tried to push her will to the edge again and again... The back of her head hurt so much that she felt like her head was about to split in two. Half of her desperately tried to do as she was ordered, and half of her would rather die in her bedroom.

"Ahhhh!"

Adina screamed in pain and rolled off the bed.

However, no matter how much it hurt, she did not break free from the rope.

'I must not hurt Duke, no matter what.

'As long as I'm still conscious, I will never hurt the man that I love!

'It hurts! 'It's agonizing! 'It felt as if my bones were breaking apart!' Adina rolled on the floor, hitting the table. The glass on the table shattered to the ground "Addy, what happened?"

Duke barged in and hurriedly approached her. When he noticed how much pain Adina was in as she rolled on the floor, his expression changed.
